Lot # 1665: 1940 Novelty Press Blue Bolt #4 - CGC 5.0

Strong mid-grade example of Blue Bolt #4, an early Golden Age issue showcasing the dynamic collaboration of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby in one of their first major superhero features. Issued during the earliest days of the wartime comics boom, Blue Bolt combined science fiction and costumed heroics in a style that anticipated the patriotic themes the duo would soon perfect in their renowned Captain America Comics run. Published in 1940 during the first year of Blue Bolt's run, this CGC graded 5.0, Slightly Brittle Pages copy displays deep color and solid structure, making it an appealing representative of the series’ formative period. A desirable and historically important early Simon & Kirby issue — a cornerstone for Golden Age and Timely-era collectors alike.
